Unity, Connected together around the world


The rather funny video titled, 'Where the hell is Matt' as I believe holds a stronger message than what some may seem it looks like. Matt Hardings video is filmed throughout many places where he dances, sometimes with the local people of the country. The video shows unity between the many countries around the globe. Although one another may seem different, they all have their similarities, and this connects us to one another. Matt harding mentions on his essay how it was a privilege to see the people around the world, to visit places he has never been to.

"Here's what I can report back: People want to feel connected to each other. They want to be heard and seen, and they're curious to hear and see others from places far away."

Matt harding clearly shows this with the many smiles of the people in the many different countries. He states that when he danced with the tens to hundreds of people, although they would be known different, their laughing, smiling and their ridiculous acts blurs out the fact, making each other closer, and more connected to each other. I believe that Matt harding created this video to help generate unity with people around the globe. Just like the quote above, people want to feel connected to each other, and Matt made this happen.

A quote by martin luther king, "We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now." Shows that no matter how different we may be, or have started off being, we all have similarities within us
